The Water Supply for Catonsville.
meeting of the citizens was held on Tuesday
night, Mr.. Benjamin Whitley in the chair and Mr..
Charles J. Baker, secretary. The latter gave a
history of the enterprise, which started about four
wears ago. An artesian we'll was begun but the
results we're not as satisfactory were expected.
Mr.. Cone, however, has had a new well bored,
which he said would yield about 125 gallons
minute. The old we'll could be connected with it,
and the two be used together. He thought that
$4,000 would be necessary to give complete
water supply to the village. Mr.. Cone expressed
himself willing to subscribe to $4,000, provided
he would receive $4,000 in bonds of the company
in compensation for the property and works now
erected. Mr.. Baker also offered to take 5000 in
stock also on this condition. On motion of Mr..
Colston the books opened for unconditional
subscriptions to the stock of the company, which,
according to the charter, must amount to 900
at least Mr.. Cone subscribed 800 shares at $50
each, making $4,000.

A Jealous Belairian.-"Towson is agtating
the building of another railroad from there to
the Northern Central. Towson will agitate in
words, but Towson money will never build
railroad" -Belair Democrat.
In the first place the name Of this town is not
Towson. In the second place it is not becoming
in the Democrat to reflect upon Towsontown when
she is just now beginning to drop her old fogy
ways and is making some big strides in the way
of advancement. Look at our fine bank building,
our proposed water supply, work on which was
commenced this week,) our prospective broad
gauge railway Jour double track horse railway, and
other proposed improvements Certainly town
that has such projects on foot has some "git up"
in it. The trouble with our brother of the DEM
ocrat is that he is growing jealous of us and that
sours his temper. Pretty soon we'll have either
gas or electric lights, and we almost forgot to say
that we're about to. have cemetery. If Brother
Street, breaks his heart mourning over our ad-
vancement, we will promise to give him decent
burial, and that's all we can do for him.

A Rising Young Business Mantle last
number of the Baltimore Argus contained a large
wood engraving of Mr.. Samuel E. George, presi-
dent of the Baltimore Provision Exchange, and .
member of the widely known firm of P. T. George
& Co. In q sketch of this gentlemen the Argus
says:
"Mr. George comes Of old Maryland stock. His
great grandfather was the original Elicott who
took up grant of land in this State, and the gen.
teman after whom Ellicott City was named
Philip E. Thomas the first President of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, was his great uncle
His grandmother was the daughter of the Mr..
Jenkins, who procured deed from Lord Balti-
moro for land in Long Green Valley, Baltimore
county, which is still held by the family, the orr
ginal deed being also in their possession.
"Mr. George was born in Baltimore, and edu-
Gated in private schools, and at Mount St. Mary's
College, Emmittsburg. Returning to Baltimore
county he was for six years occupied in farming
operations in Long Green Valley, on his fathers
place. He then came to this city and went into
business with his father, and in 1873 became a
member of the firm. His father was the first pres
ident of the old Provision Exchange. In 1882,
when the latter went out of existence, and the
present Exchange was originated, Mr. Harvey
was elected president. In 1888 Mr.. George was
called to that Office, and he has been reelected
every year since, having been last chosen in May
of the present year. He was elected director of
the Corn Exchange three years ago, and has been
regularly reelected as such since that time
"In 1872 Mr.. George married Miss Davis, of
Baltimore, whose grandfather was the engineer
that built the famous Irrational road"
personally Mr.. George is gentleman of very
pleasant manners and great energy in business.
The three vast establishments of his concern in
this city naturally engross good deal of his
time, but he finds opportunity to give considera-
BILE attention to tho affairs of the Exchange, which,
under his progressive and liberal direction, has
grown to be of the most important institutions
of its kind in Baltimore"

House Struck by Lghtning.-During the
violent thunder storm on Tuesday night last the
dwelling on the farm of Mr.. Shadrach Kemp of
S., situated in the 9Th district, the road lead
ing from Dover to Butler, struck by light
ming and badly shattered by the bolt. The plas-
tering in nearly every room in the house was
cracked and knocked off in places, and the furni-
ture was considerably broken in some the rooms
1t occurred about 101 o'clock, after the family had
retired. Mr.. Kemp was the only one that was at
all affected by the shock. The house, which is a
frame structure, was built in substantial manner
about five years ago, but the bolt came with such
force as to badly crack it and make daylight vsi-
BILE in different parts of the house. The damage
to the house and furniture was something over
800. Mr.. Kemp had an insurance of 81 900 on
the house and contents in the Agricultural Com
pany, H. L. Bowen, agent.

Gainesville Short Line.-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders Of this road was held at
Gainesville on Tuesday evening. The president,
Hon. James A. Gary, read his annual report, in
which he states that there has been a steady in
crease in the traffic of the road during the past
year. In the year 1885 the expenses of the
road were 1888 more than the receipts, while in
the year now ended there is net profit of S369O7,
the earnings being S1O,O29.06 and the expenses
$9.65O.99. To the net profit is to be added as ad-
ditional revenue. The profits are to be devoted
to the payment of an old debt due the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company. This debt has
now been reduced since the beginning of the year
from 81, ZOO to $2,Ol9.5S, and the report thinks
there is good prospect that the entire debt will
soon be wiped out, and that the road will soon be
able to pay a dividend to the stockholders. The
following board of directors was then re. elected :
james A. Gary, Henry James, John Gill, Eugene
Darlington, Gustav Gieske, J. w. Harvey, Jr.,
and Dr. c. G. W. Macgill. The board subse-
quently organized and elected James A. Gary,
president; Henry James, vice-president; John
Gill, treasurer; Major Eugene Darlington, secre-
tary.
